Clare Bowen is an Australian singer, songwriter and actress. She recently returned from her first headline tour in her homeland of Australia, selling out every venue within minutes of tickets going on sale. She will continue to play solo tour dates this summer and fall. Drawing inspiration from a myriad of influences, Clare has spent the last few years writing original material for her debut album, which she is currently in the studio recording. In addition, she stars as Scarlett on the hit TV series "Nashville," which was recently picked up by CMT and Hulu, and she recently completed U.S. and U.K. tours with other cast members. Clare established herself as an in-demand actress on both sides of the Atlantic, earning critical praise in various productions, both on stage and on screen.

Chris Carmack’s independent release PIECES OF YOU debut EP skyrocketed to #1 on the iTunes Singer/Songwriter Top Albums chart late last year and released to outstanding critical acclaim. The five-track compilation showcases his wide range of influences - everything from the jazz and blues he grew up playing on saxophone, to rock and pop with a few touches of country. In high school, the Washington D.C. native turned his attention towards jazz band and theatre. Upon graduating, he studied at NYU’s esteemed Tisch Adler Conservatory before heading out to Los Angeles where he helped launch the theatrical production of "The Day I Stood Still." Carmack would spend his off-time practicing guitar, which would later come in handy for his current, ongoing role as Will Lexington on “Nashville.” His performance in "The Day I Stood Still" attracted the attention of the producers from the hit drama "The O.C.," who cast him as Luke Ward in the series in 2003. After completing his work on the show, Carmack returned to the stage in New York at the Roundabout Theatre Company, where he took on the role of Sloane in "Entertaining Mr. Sloane," alongside Alec Baldwin and Jan Maxwell. He also performed in London, playing John Buchanan in Tennessee Williams’ "Summer and Smoke."

Charles Esten released his first independent single, “Hot One,” in the summer of 2015 and on Friday, July 15th, he will be releasing a new original single, "Through The Blue,” both available on iTunes. He plans to release a new single every single Friday “until he doesn’t,” says Esten. Born in Pittsburgh, PA, Charles “Chip” Esten grew up in Alexandria, VA. After starting his acting career in Los Angeles, he was pleased to make his theatrical debut in London, portraying Buddy Holly in the hit West End musical “Buddy.” In that role, he was honored to perform for H.R.M Queen Elizabeth and then, for President and Mrs. George H.W. Bush at both The Kennedy Center and The White House. Esten currently stars in the hit television series “Nashville” in the role of Deacon Claybourne. He also headlined the 2014, 2015, and 2016 “Nashville in Concert” tour with sold out shows across the US and this summer, the UK. He is proud to serve as the National Light the Night Walk Honorary Chair for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

Lennon & Maisy Stella are actresses, singers and authors. The real-life sisters have garnered a large fan base with over 720K YouTube subscribers and 85 million views, thanks in part to their viral video covers including “Call Your Girlfriend,” "That’s What’s Up” and “Boom Clap.” Best known as sisters Maddie & Daphne Conrad on “Nashville,” Lennon & Maisy had a show-stopping performance of The Lumineers’ “Ho Hey” on the hit series in April 2013. When their cover released to radio, it not only became the #1 most added song in the nation, the single also quickly rose to the Top 40 on the Billboard Songs chart. Their rendition remains the #1 most downloaded song from the hit TV show's releases. They’ve performed everywhere from The White House to "Good Morning America." In 2015, they partnered with HarperCollins to release a children’s book called “In The Waves.” Lennon & Maisy have also become known for their fashion sense, appearing two years in a row at New York Fashion Week and walked in the 2016 Go Red For Women fashion show. Lennon & Maisy are only 16 and 12 years old, respectively, but they have already had experiences that some wait a lifetime to achieve.

Colin Linden was already a guitar prodigy at age 11 when he was mentored by one of his musical heroes, the great bluesman Howlin’ Wolf. He helped set the young star on a course to pursue the sounds of his dreams. That course went on to feature his work on literally hundreds of albums. At last count, his recordings total nearly 400 and production credits on over 100 albums. Linden has played with the likes of Emmylou Harris, Bob Dylan, T Bone Burnett and Alison Krauss and is a two-time GRAMMY Award nominee. His current and thirteenth solo album is titled, Rich in Love.

Mark Collie is a Rockabilly Renaissance man. Singer, songwriter, producer, actor, artist, ﬁlmmaker, entertainer, dreamer and poet, all apply, but none alone deﬁne him.

Grammy-nominated JD Souther has penned countless hits for the Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, Roy Orbison, James Taylor, Don Henley, George Strait, Trisha Yearwood, Brooks and Dunn and found success as a solo artist. This led him to being inducted into the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame in 2013 and becoming one of the most celebrated songwriters of his generation. On his new studio album, Tenderness (Sony Music Masterworks), Souther creates a perfect balance of understated Jazz with the ineffable pop narratives that have been the backbone of much of his greatest work. His classic albums John David Souther, Black Rose and Home by Dawn have been released as expanded reissues (Omnivore Recordings).
